Ingredients

4 apples, Macintosh or any variety you like, peeled, cored, and chopped

4 pears, Bosc or any kind you like, peeled, cored, and chopped

1 1/2 cups apple cider or apple juice

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Nutmeg, freshly grated

1 jar whole berry cranberry sauce

1/2 cup golden raisins

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.

Place the pork loin on a nonstick cookie sheet with a rim or on a roasting pan. Make slits throughout with a long thin knife and pierce the loin with the rosemary stems. Coat the pork in EVOO and a liberal amount of salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reads about 145°F, about 1 hour.

While the pork is roasting, in a medium size saucepan, cook the apples, pears, cider, brown sugar, vinegar and nutmeg until the apples are soft, about 10-15 minutes. Once the mixture has cooked down and is thickened, add in the cranberry sauce and raisins.

Remove the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Thinly slice the pork loin on an angle. Serve the compote alongside the pork.
